It is already available in Taiwan, and it has even hit Australia, now it’s our turn for Gigabyte’s big Windows 7 tablet. The S1080 features a 320GB drive, dual-core Atom N570, Ethernet port, and for some unknown reason, VGA output.

All you need is $650 and it ships on July 1st. Other features include 802.11b/g/n WiFi, Bluetooth 3.0, 1.3 megapixel webcam and a USB 3.0 port. If you have been waiting for this one, now is your chance.

At Computex 2011 Gigabyte has announced a new notebook computer with a neat docking station called the Booktop M2432. The machine packs in an Intel Core i5 processor, USB 3.0 ports, THX TruStudio Pro, and more.

The screen is a 14-inch LED backlit unit with 1366 x 768 resolution. Other features include Intel HD 3000 graphics onboard, support for HD movies and more. The machine weighs 1.81 kg and is 27.6 mm thick.

The quick swap battery changing system allows for instant battery changing in less than 2 seconds. It comes with an instant charging dock, which is a Li-ion battery charger and a wireless receiver unit. The Aivia M8600 Wireless Macro gaming mouse will be shown off at CeBIT 2011. Hopefully we will hear more about it.

Gigabyte has just added some new Netbooks to its lineup, the Gigabyte Q2005 and the Gigabyte M1005. Both feature an Intel Atom Dual Core Processor N550(1.50GHz), run either Windows 7 Starter or Home Premium and sport 10.1 inch 1024×600 LED backlit displays.

Other features include up to 2GB of DDR2 ram and a 1.3 mega pixel web camera on the M1005 or a 0.3 mega pixel on the Q2005. Each has 3 USB ports, D-Sub, RJ45, Mic-in, Earphone-out and a 4-in-1 card reader supporting SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro.

Having a hard time deciding on which tablet device or netbook to buy? Well, you can have the best of both worlds with the Gigabyte T1000P. This 10.1″ touchscreen tablet/netbook hybrid features a 1,366 x 768 resolution which is higher than other displays on devices this size.

It’s available for pre-order from Amazon at $699. Some other features include an Intel Atom N470 1.83GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive with Windows 7 Starter Edition as the operating system.

Gigabyte has boldly ventured into Android phone territory with this unnamed GSmart series phone. Until now, the series included only Windows Mobile devices. The features include Wi-fi, GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.5 mm jack, a 2MP camera with autofocus and a Trackball.

It’s powered by a Qualcomm ESM 7225 528 MHz processor with 256 MB RAM and has 512 MB of memory with microSD card expansion. You’ll be enjoying the Android OS on its 2.8 inch QVGA touch display. The phone should be released in Russia next month for $300.

Netbooks are huge right now with the little machines racking up sales numbers that traditional notebooks are having a hard time matching. The sweet spot for netbooks today is the 10.1-inch screen size and Gigabyte has announced a new convertible netbook that should appeal to many users.

The machine is called the T1028x and its 10.1-inch screen is touch sensitive. The machine has a 6-cell battery with 54wh or power, so its run time should be pretty good. Other features include a screen resolution of 1366 x 768, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an ExpressCard 34 slot.

I like netbooks, I happen to think that the tradeoff of screen size and some power for portability is well worth it for the way I use a notebook. That said I think going below an 8-inch or 9-inch screen size is too much of a compromise, but some folks want even more portability in their web access device.

The MID walks the line between a netbook and smartphones like the iPhone and Gigabyte has an interesting new MID called the M528. The M528 was seen back in June, but Gigabyte has updated the specs. Running on Linux the device has a 4.8-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 800×480 that is touch sensitive.

The Gigabyte M528 finally has a price tag, retailing for $750 in Taiwan and it will be released there in late July. The features remain the same since it’s unveiling at Computex 2008. You get an 800Mhz Silverthorne/Poulsbo processor, 800 × 480 resolution touch screen, 3 mp auto-focus camera and 4GB SSD, GPS navigation, and 3G connectivity. It comes with the suite of different apps that include Firefox 3, Skype, Pidgin IM, and OpenOffice 2.4 plus others. Good news for those who have been waiting.
